According to Charlie Lambeth, who took this picture and posted it on Twitter with the caption, ‘Only in Brockenhurst’, the animal walked into the shop ‘as if it was nothing out of the ordinary’ and stood there looking around.

It is unclear whether the animal was planning to head for the store’s apple, carrot or sugar lump aisle.

But before it could select any items it was shooed from the premises by the manager.
